<P><STRONG>Function</STRONG>
<P>
Create an irregular Array Object.
<P><STRONG>Syntax</STRONG>
<PRE><STRONG>
&#35;include &lt;dx/dx.h&gt;
Array DXNewArray(Type t, Category c, int rank, ...)
Array DXNewArrayV(Type t, Category c, int rank, int *shape)
</STRONG>
</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
The Object created is an Array of Array subclass
<TT><STRONG>CLASS_ARRAY</STRONG></TT>.
Each <TT><STRONG>item</STRONG></TT> is a scalar, vector, matrix, or tensor
whose rank is specified by <TT><STRONG>rank</STRONG></TT> (number of
dimensions).
<P>
The first form of this routine (<TT><STRONG>DXNewArray</STRONG></TT>)
specifies the shape as the last <TT><STRONG>rank</STRONG></TT>
arguments.
The second form (<TT><STRONG>DXNewArrayV</STRONG></TT>) specifies
<TT><STRONG>shape</STRONG></TT> as an Array of integers.
Each entry in the item is real or complex, as specified by
<TT><STRONG>c</STRONG></TT>, with coefficients that are integer,
single precision, and double precision, according to
<TT><STRONG>t</STRONG></TT>.
The Array initially contains no items.
<P>
The type is one of the following:
<PRE><STRONG>
TYPE_BYTE            TYPE_HYPER        TYPE_SHORT
TYPE_UBYTE           TYPE_INT          TYPE_USHORT
TYPE_DOUBLE          TYPE_UINT         TYPE_STRING
TYPE_FLOAT
</STRONG>
</PRE>
<P>
The category is <TT><STRONG>CATEGORY_REAL or CATEGORY_COMPLEX</STRONG></TT>.
<P><STRONG>Return Value</STRONG>
<P>
Return the Array or return <TT><STRONG>NULL</STRONG></TT> and set an
error code.
<P>
<TT><STRONG>
DXAddArrayData
</STRONG></TT>
